Orbital Sunset Fibre Blend

Back to The Knitting Girl's Fibre Gallery

This blend was inspired by a photo taken by Astronaut John Glenn. The sun is behind the arc of the Earth, showing a thin strip of brilliant blue and white light. This is our planet's atmosphere. It's remarkable and a bit scary to see how thin and fragile the atmospheric shell of our world is.

To view the photo that inspired this blend, visit the NASA digital gallery.
